In 1934, he graduated second in his class from Whittier.[18] In 1933, Nixon became engaged to Ola Florence Welch; daughter of the Whittier police chief; the two broke up in 1935.[20]
Nixon received a full scholarship to Duke University School of Law.[18] At the time, the law school was new and sought to attract the top students by offering scholarships.[21] This high-expense approach to building a law school applied to the faculty as well, which was given high salaries; most professors had national or international reputations.[22] The number of scholarships were greatly reduced for second and third year students, forcing the students into intense competition.[21] Nixon was elected president of the Duke Bar Association[23] and graduated third in his class in June 1937.[18] Nixon later spoke about the influence of his alma mater, saying, "I always remember that whatever I have done in the past or may do in the future, Duke University is responsible in one way or another."[24]
